verse 1 
C 
When we set out on the road 
        F                     C 
I said, “Boys, we’re heading west 
        C      G        F             C 
We will walk under this sun until it sets” 
C 
We had the best intentions 
        F                     C 
And the road was straight and true 
        C        G     F             C 
We promised that we’d follow it to you 
C             F            C  G/B   F   C 

verse 2 
C 
With our shadows growing longer 
        F           C 
We picked up our pace 
      C      G        F         C 
Knowing if we rested, we would rust 
C 
As the cold crept up our backs 
           F              C 
Under the last remaining rays 
    C        G       F                 C 
We never stopped to think who we could trust 

Pre-Chorus 
   Em7/B            F            C 
And when the night came to the highway 
   Em7/B            F            C 
The horizon turned black from blue 
F 
Oh, Mother Nature, where are you going? 
G 
Can we go too? 

 
                    C7 
We’re longing to be safe 
C7   C13  C7  F  C7    C7 
Safe in your arms     Safe 
C7   C13  C7  F  C7 
Safe in your arms 
Em7/B  Em/D  G/D  C 
Safe    in   your arms 
Em7/B  Em/D  G/D  C

Can we be safe in your arms again? 
C          F        C  G/B   F   C 

verse 3 
C 
We poisoned all the ghosts 
        F           C 
We poisoned all the rivers 
      C      G        F                 C 
We burned away the last light of the day 
C 
When we finally hit the coast 
        F           C 
We had nothing to deliver 
                C      G        F                 C 
And there was nothing there that we could take away 

Pre-Chorus 
   Em7/B        F            C 
Where would we be without you? 
   Em7/B        F            C 
How will we make it through? 
F 
Follow Mother Nature, wherever she’s going 
G 
You must go too 

 
                    C7 
She's longing to be safe 
C7   C13  C7  F  C7    C7 
Safe in your arms     Safe

Safe in your arms

Safe    in   your arms 
Em7/B  Em/D  G/D  C 
Safe    in   your arms

Can she be safe in your arms again?

Safe    in   your arms

Can she be safe in your arms again?
